Kindergarten Teachers! Tips for Entering Quarter 2 Skill Grades

 

💥💥 Attention Kindergarten Teachers!! 💥💥

Nothing has changed about the way you enter Skill Grades or Comments for Quarter 2 -- EXCEPT that you may now COPY skills for students that you have entered for Quarter 1. I am posting a link below with directions on how you can do this. The copy skills feature allows you to quickly assess how the student has performed since Quarter 1 and then change the grade for Quarter 2 if needed. 

Copy Skills From Previous Quarter

And then just so it's handy ... here is a link if you need a reminder on where to enter Comments for your students!

Please reach out if you need help!
